style:</p>
<ol><li class=fi><p>Select File&gt;New from the menu
bar.</p><p>The New Report dialog box displays.</p></li>
<li class=ds><p>Choose the DataWindow tab page and the Composite
presentation style, and click OK.</p><p>The wizard displays all reports (DataWindow objects) that
are in the current target's library search path.</p></li>
<li class=ds><p>Click the reports you want to include in the composite
report and then click Next.</p><p>The wizard lists your choices.</p></li>
<li class=ds><p>Click Finish.</p><p>PowerBuilder places boxes for the selected reports in the Design
view. In this example, you see three reports:</p><br><img src="images/nest09.gif"><br>
</li>
<li class=ds><p>Select File&gt;Save from the menu bar and
assign a name to the composite report.</p></li>
<li class=ds><p>Look at the Preview view of the report:</p><br><img src="images/nest10.gif"><br>
<p>Notice that you are in print preview (which is read-only).</p><p><img src="images/note.gif" width=17 height=17 border=0 align="bottom" alt="Note"> <span class=shaded>Working with composite reports</span> <A NAME="TI7518"></A>Many of the options available for working with reports, such
as Rows&gt;Filter, Rows&gt;Import, and Rows&gt;Sort,
are disabled for a composite report. If you want to use any of these
options, you need to access the nested report(s), where these options
are available.</p>
</li>
<li class=ds><p>Continue to enhance the composite report (for
example, add a date and title).</p></li></ol>
